Plenty of conservative organizations use Drupal, Salesforce, online fundraising, Facebook and Twitter – using those technologies to push for ends that I am far from interested in seeing come to reality. The second motive force is simply to empty your wallet so you can get shiny. I still think I’m doing good.

WP as a blogging tool rocks my world, and although I certainly could move blogging to Drupal, since I seem to be becoming somewhat of a Drupalista, it’s just not worth it. I’m somewhat of a latecomer to Drupal. Songbird is a brillant idea: build a music player using the Mozilla framework. SaaS Tools. I love last.fm.

It can integrate with both Drupal or Joomla, and there is a new stand-alone version as well. Drupal integration is better, but there is a lot of active development going into improving the Joomla integration. Otherwise, it’s easy to host it on a generic hosting account, if you don’t need that functionality.

OpenAds , an open source ad server (very cool) just got tons of $ in financing. Because of the nature of open source, more money in the open source ecosystem is a good thing, and it is my belief that unlike “voodoo economics&# this will actually be a tide that lifts all boats. {

I’ll mention the other FOSS CMS systems in other posts. I’ll have to admit to my preference for Joomla, although Drupal is growing on me more and more. I’ll be migrating my main consulting site over to it quite soon. They have an amazing user community, and there are places to get amazing themes.

For another client, I helped them vet vendors for their new website, taught them the difference between Joomla, Drupal and Plone, and I helped free them from a vendor who was particularly egregious in their hosting charges, among other things. 1200/month for an old and therefore crappy custom CMS and not much support.

First is the wholesale movement toward the three major open source CMS platforms/frameworks, Drupal , Joomla and Plone. Second is that Linux servers seem to have made very serious inroads into nonprofit organizations, such that they are becoming almost commonplace. Third, almost everyone uses Firefox, or at least knows about it.

Maybe we’ll see a downloadable virtual machine with MPower installed running off a SQLite db. :-) I’m also hoping to see some modules for integration with Drupal put together. 3 Josiah Ritchie 04.16.08 at 7:48 pm Also, they will allow anyone to register for the community at this point.

There are quite a number of really good CMS systems (both open source and proprietary – I’d say there are a good solid dozen) that have large user bases, many developers and vendors who implement them, and their are lots of new modules and functionality being added every day. But, that was then, and this is now. 2 admin 02.20.08

I am thinking that this might be a good model for how we can do it with Drupal, but that’s a subject for another post. at 7:46 pm Like everything in Drupal land, there is code for that… though the quality varies widely. With joshk as the maintainer, the quality should be better than average.

The single largest CMS used was Drupal, at 15%, followed by Plone and Joomla (approx 8% each.) Only two proprietary CMS systems, Antharia’s and Ektron, had scores as good as the open source CMS.The CMS options from the big three (er, now the big two) didn’t score as well. Most people (67%) want an easy to use interface.

For now, unless something strange happens, I’ll settle on Cake – although I’ll not be spending too much time on it, since I’m working hard to grok Drupal. They both have good documentation and active communities. But perhaps a cool project will manifest, and I can use it.

Drupal, Joomla is run by a foundation, as is Mozilla and many others. Apache is arguably the best web server software on the planet – and it is owned and run by a nonprofit organization (the Apache Foundation). In fact, many, many successful, usable, high quality software projects are not backed by shareholder investment at all.

FOSS that is accessible, popular, and widely-used-by-amateur-home-hobbyists (Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla) is fully of non-credible, immature, open source advocates.
